Rethinking Attention Deficit Disorders

by Miriam Cherkes-Julkowski, Susan Sharp, Jonathan Stolzenberg

A book for teachers, parents, and practitioners views attention deficit disorders (ADDs) from a systems perspective that sees attention as a complex, self-organizing system that is nonlinear and recursive in its functioning, and ADDs as cognitive disorders based in neurological function that affect all forms of thought. The authors describe methods of intervention that complement the individual's own efforts at self-regulation, and offer practical suggestions for supporting the ADD child in school.

One of the best books I have every read about how the brain processes information, neural pattern recognition, holographic memory and brain/memory patterns. Very highly recommended.
